In Sanya, fruits aren't just snacks—they're an experience to be enjoyed! From spicy dips to grilled delights, this tropical paradise turns ordinary fruits into extraordinary treats. Here's how to enjoy them like a true Hainan native:
1.Spicy-salted fruits
Dare to try Sanya's signature chili-salt-dipped fruits? Juicy mango, guava, and pineapple get a bold upgrade with a mix of chili powder and sea salt - sweet, spicy, and utterly addictive!

2.Salt fruit drinks
Beat the heat with laoyan (aged sea salt) beverages. Tangy kumquat, sour plum, or tamarind blended with salty-sweet brine creates a thirst-quenching explosion of flavors.
3.Hot pot with a fruity twist
Sanya's coconut chicken hotpot simmers tender chicken in fresh coconut water with papaya and red dates – which is naturally sweet and creamy. For something zesty, try sour starfruit fish soup, a citrusy alternative to classic hot-and-sour soup.

4.Wok-fried coconut ice
No beach day is complete without an icy dessert - velvety coconut milk “stir-fried” into fluffy ice, then piled high with tropical toppings.

5.Grilled Fruit Magic
Caramelized grilled pineapple loses all acidity, becoming a smoky-sweet BBQ star. Roasted sugarcane offers crispy, concentrated sweetness - a local remedy for sore throats!
